Joint statement of the two leaders, delivered by the Special Adviser
of the UNSG on Cyprus, on the issue of missing
persons
The issue of missing persons is one of the most painful chapters in
the history of Cyprus. Healing this open wound at the earliest is important in
terms of easing the pain of the missing persons’ relatives.
As time goes by, the prospects of finding the missing persons is
becoming more and more difficult. Therefore, as the two leaders, we call on
everyone, who might possess information on possible burial sites of missing
persons, to share this information with the Committee on Missing Persons without
hesitation. We guarantee that their confidentiality will be fully respected. We
believe that this is a humanitarian duty that should be fulfilled.
